Chapter 29: Betting on the College Entrance Exams

  "Qin Lang, I feel like you're somehow different from before." Qi Linglong looked at Qin Lang sideways, unsure if it was just her imagination. She felt that this nominal fiancé of hers had lost a bit of his foolishness and gained more composure and wisdom compared to the past.

  Qin Lang couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, why did every familiar person have to repeat this question to me? Was the previous Qin Da stupid really that unbearable?

  He shrugged: "That's your illusion."

  Was it an illusion? Qi Lingling thought not. However, she also didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer. No matter whether Qin Lang was foolish or wise, for her, the engagement between them had always been a thorn in her heart. If she couldn't remove this thorn, she would be unable to eat or sleep peacefully.

  "Aren't you leaving? Why haven't you left yet?" Qin Lang asked.

  "Is there anyone who rushes to drive guests away like you? If I want to leave, I will naturally leave." Qi Lingling retorted with a bad tone, then adjusted her expression and said seriously: "Qin Lang, I hope you can think carefully about what I told you before. We are absolutely not a good match, and dragging it out will only harm each other. As long as we both insist, I believe our parents won't force us to be together excessively."

  "Are you referring to a divorce?" Qin Lang didn't know what the other person had said to Big Fool Qin before, but from their tone, it wasn't hard to discern their intention.

  "Of course." Qi Linglong nodded solemnly, "Actually, I came today to discuss this matter with you. But before your brother was here, it wasn't convenient for me to speak up. The college entrance exam is about to take place soon, and we're both about to start new lives, turning over a new leaf. I hope that at this turning point in our lives, we can put down the burdens on our shoulders."

  Qin Lang's face suddenly looked a bit unsightly.

  Although he is as careless as Qin Da, not caring whether there is such a fiancée or not, and even not planning to have this fiancée. But the matter of divorce should be dominated by him.

  Now that the other party has brought it up, it seems like an insult to him. Thinking of his dominance in the Dan Ding continent, although he is not fond of women, which woman would dare to bring up divorce to his face?

  This is a slap in his face!

  "What if I don't want to divorce?" Qin Lang looked at Qi Ling with a hint of a smile.

  Qī Línglóng's face changed, and she snorted: "Even if you don't want to, I still want to call off this engagement. The man Qī Línglóng is going to marry absolutely won't be you."

  "Don't speak too early." Qin Lang smiled, and the little bit of good impression he had towards this girl also disappeared instantly.

  Originally, this girl wouldn't have said anything and he would have ruined the engagement anyway. But now, Qi Ling's attitude has triggered his desire for control.

  Aren't you thinking of backing out of the marriage? I'll make sure you can't. If you let people back out of marriages, where would Qin Lang's face be?

  "Alright." After some thought, Qin Lang suddenly said: "As for the divorce, I can agree to it."

  "Really?" Qi Linglong's face lit up with joy.

  "But there is a prerequisite." Qin Lang added.

  "What premise."

  "The premise is that your Gaokao score must be higher than mine." Qin Lang said slowly.

  "You... what did you just say?" Qi Linglong really thought her ears were malfunctioning. The guy who always ranked last in exams at school actually dared to compare exam scores with her?

  "If you didn't understand, then pretend I didn't say it, and you can leave." Qin Lang let out a cold hum, he wasn't someone who liked to repeat himself.

  "Are you sure you want to compare Gaokao scores with me? No regrets?" Qi Lingling asked, ignoring Qin Lang's tone and asking with a happy face.

  "I regret nothing." Qin Lang hummed, "It's you who might regret it later."

  "Don't worry, I absolutely won't regret it. Not only will I not regret it, but I also promise you that if your Gaokao score surpasses mine, from now on I'll be your steady girlfriend, and I can even tell anyone that I'm your fiancée." Qi Linglong said with a smile, patting her chest as if making a guarantee.

  She is popular among boys in school, not only because of her appearance, but also because she is an excellent student and has a reputation for being talented and beautiful.

  She almost always ranked among the top ten in her grade during exams. Think about it, with such grades and a guy who always ranks last in every exam, betting on the college entrance examination is like surrendering ahead of time. The college entrance examination is not an exam where you can cheat just because you want to.

  The shackles that had been weighing on her mind were about to be lifted, and Qi Linglong couldn't help but feel elated. She even thought that this was a way for Qin Lang to save face, so he came up with this plan to make the divorce less embarrassing for him.

  "It's settled then." Qin Lang nodded.

  Qing Ling smiled like a flower, but in her heart, she was somewhat uneasy. For the first time, she spoke to Qin Lang in an extremely gentle tone: "Thank you for your understanding. Don't worry, even if we don't have the engagement, we can still be friends. Although you're a bit silly, you're not as deceitful as many other men. Being friends with you should be a happy thing."

  "It's too early to say thank you now." Qin Lang looked at the smile on Qi Ling's face and found it amusing, thinking to himself, "You can smile for now, but you won't be smiling later."

  "You guys are just dying to save face and suffer. Qi Ling's tone became more and more relaxed, it was clear that without the engagement, her attitude towards Qin Lang had changed greatly, she could even speak to him like a friend, completely without the discrimination many people had towards Qin Lang."

  This shows that Qi Linglong's heart is indeed not bad, without the various problems of a wealthy family's daughter.

  Soon, Qi Lingling left with a smile.

  As she walked away, her footsteps were light and quick, completely forgetting the embarrassment of actively asking Qin Lang to "touch" her earlier. The whole person looked like they had parted the clouds and mist, seeing the sunlight.

  Qin Lang watched as the other person's back disappeared from view, shaking his head and thinking to himself: This girl is great in every way, but she just doesn't understand one thing - before the answer is revealed, anything can happen.

  He didn't take the bet just now seriously. If it's said that after losing his cultivation, what he has left is a spiritual power far surpassing ordinary people.

  Or it can also be understood as IQ and brain domain development degree.

  With Qin Lang's current spiritual power, even if he took out half a day, he could grasp and understand all the knowledge from elementary school to high school.

  So for him, taking the college entrance exam is a piece of cake.

  As he closed the courtyard gate, Qin Lang suddenly recalled a scene that had just occurred in front of the door and couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.

  It was both a laugh at Qin Sheng's embarrassment and a laugh of relief for the old Qin Da. He muttered to himself, "Qin Da, you fool, let me start changing my attitude towards you from this cheap little brother."

  ……

  In the following days, Qin Lang's daily life was a straight line of two points, either resting at home or reading books in the library.

  It's already Wednesday.

  Maybe it was the reason of the cold spring, today's weather is particularly cold, but Qin Lang still got up early, after a little exercise in the yard, he rushed to school against the wind.

  The school cafeteria opened very early, and Qin Lang ordered a large pile of things before starting to eat voraciously. For the past few days, his meals had been mostly settled in the school cafeteria. Although the food in the cafeteria was not particularly appetizing, for him, as long as it could fill his stomach, that was enough.

  To know, the books he turned over these days are enough to have tens of thousands of volumes. To absorb so much knowledge at once, not only does it require sufficient rest to replenish mental energy, but also sufficient food to make up for physical exhaustion caused by intense mental concentration.

  When he had swept away all the food, leaving nothing but a trail of destruction, it was almost time for the library to open. Only then did he pat his belly contentedly and head towards the library.

  On campus, students carrying backpacks and books, riding bicycles or electric scooters can be seen everywhere. When they see Qin Lang, they all point and whisper to each other in private.

  Qin Lang didn't mind this situation, he had already gotten used to it over the past few days. After all, after going through that kidnapping case, almost all of the teachers and students in school knew him.

  This can also be considered as a kind of fame.

  As I passed by the school parking shed, a mountain bike suddenly darted out from the corner, and the rider seemed to have no regard for the fact that this was a campus, proceeding at an extremely fast speed, almost colliding with Qin Lang who was hurrying along.

  "Are you blind? You saw me, your grandfather, riding my bike over here and didn't know to give way? Damn it, which class are you from? I'll invite you to the 'Triangle Area' for a chat later." The cyclist almost hit someone but instead of apologizing, he became even more arrogant and threatening.

  However, after taking a closer look at Qin Lang, this reckless and arrogant guy couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, I thought it was someone else, turns out it's Big Fool Qin! Hiding for a few days without seeing anyone, won't you get scared silly?"

  Qin Lang furrowed his brow and finally looked at the cyclist with a serious gaze. He hadn't paid attention before, but now that he did, he suddenly felt a strong urge to kill.

  The guy riding the bike was none other than that skinny young man who had been used as a human shield to block Zhao Tiezhu, and ultimately led to his being hijacked by Zhao Tiezhu.

  It's especially infuriating when enemies meet.

  Qin Lang hated that he couldn't immediately kill this person, but unfortunately, he didn't have the power to do so at present, and it wasn't time for him to act recklessly either. He could only suppress the killing intent in his heart.
